Variety:

Universal is in talks with Elisabeth Moss for the actress to star in its retelling of “Invisible Man."

Sources say the negotiations are in the extremely early stages, but if they were to move forward, Moss would star in the film with “Upgrade" filmmaker Leigh Whannell writing and directing. Sources also indicate that Johnny Depp, who was originally tapped to play the title character, will not be involved.

Whannell, who is co-producing, has previously worked with Blumhouse Productions on hit films including “Insidious: The Last Key" and “Upgrade."

Plot details are unknown, but the film marks the first major venture in the studio’s fresh strategy for Universal’s monsters properties, bringing creative directors with distinctive visions to the classic characters and moving on from the original idea to have an interconnected “Dark Universe." Universal has tabled the idea of an interconnected universe and is reassessing how to keep the enduring characters relevant for a new generation.

I like Whannell, I love Moss, I think giving up on the "Dark Universe" and letting Blumhouse just make some kick-ass horror films with classic properties is a great idea.

What could go wrong?
